It has been proven that posture not only plays a large role in how we are perceived by others, but how we perceive ourselves. Stretching and exercise can help your posture; we all tend to slump, making our shoulders roll forward, bellies stick out, and lower backs sore.
Here is a sample back and chest routine that can help with posture. By “pulling” more than “pushing” your back will get tighter and your chest will loosen up and actually seem bigger. Try it for a couple 4-6 weeks and see how you feel!
Pre and post workout be sure to stretch your pecs, anterior delt and traps. This will help relax the muscles and utilize them more efficiently. Hold each position for :45-1:30.
